Chrome Remote Desktop is kind of lovely when the desktop being viewed is on a mac. It does weird things with picking a resolution that fits your browser window, it's not a 1:1 copy like a traditional VNC session would produce. Which is fine, it technically works, but OSX loves to gently caress with your window positions when it changes resolutions and it drives me nuts.

I'm amazed there exists any website in 2015 that actually allows you to put a cleartext username and password in the URL, http or https or any other protocol at all.

Yeah, API keys are the way to do that now and it's not perfect, but it works okay. They could go down the OAuth rabbit hole.

Youtube's gonna have to get some really drat good content to fetch that price. That's what I pay for Netflix and YouTube sure as poo poo doesn't have House of Cards which is kind of the benchmark for a streaming service at this point. HBO charges $15 but they have literally the most popular show on TV right now. YouTube has.. PewDiePie?

I appreciate how big youtube is and I appreciate that kids go loving bonkers for the low production poo poo that gets uploaded there by the terabyte, but that's definitely not worth $10 a month to me. Youtube is just low brow fluff to pull up when I'm bored. I hope it works for them but they're messing with one of the core features of the internet and companies that have done that in the past have had a bad habit of being replaced by something else.

Nothing I said disagrees with that. I guess I could have avoided recommending some other weather information solution since that always seems to get people all fired up in here for some dumb reason.

It has the best snooze feature in alarm clock history, just smash your phone and it leaves you alone for a few minutes. The snooze gets shorter as you get closer to your desired wake up time.

The things they're saying make no sense to me, unless they have an active Apple account that is publishing apps to the App store, and Apple is threatening to delete the account if they don't play ball. I mean they're just distributing code. Apple has no authority to prevent people from open sourcing software, and there are a billion Xcode projects for OSX and iOS on github. Is Apple going to barge in and shut all of them down too?

I don't see how that's a deal breaker, I mean the traditional method of listening to music for free didn't even let you select the artist. If you didn't like what you're hearing your only option was to turn the dial to a new station. If you want control, you gotta lay down some money.

Flights climbed uses the barometer, which means lots of ghost steps climbed that are actually you entering a building. Every time I enter my place of employment I get credited for two flights.. one for walking through the door, one for actually walking up some stairs. Still think it's a great feature, just gotta interpret the results a bit.

Yeah I started using Focus when it was released, just because it was new and shiny. It does the job. But so did all the other ad blockers I used previously, I haven't found one that does anything better or worse than anyone else. I would like more options in general, like poo poo canning any javascript that tries to hit google analytics or a facebook server, but it's not a dealbreaker. Who knows, it might be doing that already. It's not like any of them tell you what they're doing!

It's the publisher that does that, the reader typically only shows what's in the feed and most of them are just snippets of the full story. There's no reason they couldn't fetch the article, and some do, but certainly not all of them.

I want a password keeper that works on all my computing devices that doesn't require storing my vault in someone's cloud. Unfortunately such a thing doesn't exist, so I keep on keeping on with lastpass because I've been using it from day one and am too lazy to migrate elsewhere.

I think it's a reasonable expectation that plugging your device into a new computer and hitting sync will pull everything off the device and save it locally. iTunes has never once in its history allowed you to do this so I think we're all used to it, but it's still loving stupid.

Instead of buying companies and haphazardly gluing their tech into Apple software, the company should really sit down and refactor what they have so it doesn't suck additional poo poo every time a new version comes out.
